In a shocking turn of events for fans of Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh, Delhi Police have arrested a man indulging in Fake tickets for Diljit Dosanjh Concert for his much-awaited concert scheduled on 26th October at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, New Delhi, as part of his Dil-Luminati Tour. With tickets selling out in minutes, excitement over this event has also attracted rogue elements who seek to capitalize on the eagerness of fans.
Ticket Scam of Diljit Dosanjh Concert
The arrested man was said to have been selling counterfeit tickets via social media, evidently gaining profits from the huge demand for Diljit’s concert. Tickets were reportedly up for selling at a price between ₹10,000 and ₹50,000 – a price which was rather more than the official tag. Things took a serious turn as the Delhi Police Cyber Team issued an alert to the people in the last month about online ticketing scams.
Many fans were frustrated when the official tickets were selling out almost instantly, but their ticketing process crashed the website.
Due to this, many of them were instead trying for tickets through social media, falling prey to the scam unknowingly.
Response by Police
Thanks to Delhi Police, who took quick action, a man was caught red-handed for selling faux tickets through a suspicious online payment link. The police appeal to cricket buffs to be alert and inform the department in case they notice anything suspicious happening regarding ticket sales.
Diljit Dosanjh himself through Instagram Stories appreciated Delhi Police for their swift action. He asked his fans to stay vigilant about fake tickets running on the internet and to avoid getting them. Instead, he insisted that people should buy tickets from authentic sources.

Complaints Against BookMyShow
Amid all this, there has been another complaint about the ticket booking application BookMyShow. Fans complained of an alleged cheating issue related to Coldplay and Diljit Dosanjh’s concert. The ticketing portal was found to be scraping away money from people in the name of convenience fees, almost as much as the cost of tickets.
BookMyShow has filed an FIR responding to complaints against the illegal ticket resale of Coldplay’s concerts in Mumbai. This is only one of the many problematic conditions users face when trying to purchase tickets.
Safely Buying Tickets
Of course, fans who want to be there on Diljit Dosanjh’s live concert date have to be careful. Here are a few precautions to avoid scams while buying tickets:
Buy only from official places like BookMyShow or the venue’s official website.
Be cautious of Sales over Social Media: Buying tickets through social media would be unsafe unless from a verified person or somebody with a good reputation.
Beware of Over-pricing of Tickets: If the prices are too high compared to the fixed ticket price, then beware.
Report Suspected Activity: If you are exposed to counterfeit ticket sales, report it to the police or the selling platform where the tickets are being sold.
